Celebrating Patent Approval – Broadhead Lateral Positioning System

Match Grade Medical is proud to announce that the US Patent and Trademark Office has issued and published the patent for their Broadhead Pegboard system. 

For hospitals using conventional pegboard systems hip surgery and lateral positioning, this is a game changing pegboard technology that not only offers easier setup and better support, but because of the patented shape and broad contact surface is able to reduce the pressure against the patient’s skin by as much as 75 percent.

The Broadhead system pegs are machined from a solid piece of material which makes them machine washable and fully radiolucent. 

 Designed to be easy to clean, there is nowhere for debris to hide and transfer contamination between procedures. The fact that they are fully radiolucent allows for optimum placement and support.

The reduction of pressure injury is a significant benefit to the patient and the provider.  Not only does the patented shape of the pegs and the broad contact surface reduce pressure, but the shape of the pegboard itself can help to reduce impingement points.

Disposable lateral positioning pads are also available.
